Because of the spelling?
I predict that he is in custody within 24 hours. You just know that there other videos out there with a view of his face as he throws it.
His face is featured clear as a bell in the article.
And in the video, there is a clear shot of a different guy assaulting police. Blindsided a cop, and then ran away like the brave Maga warrior he is. Lots of other video going, so he’ll be identified and arrested shortly I hope. I’d give this dude 20 years. Fire extinguisher man should get life, assuming he hit the cop who later died.
Since the Capitol Police are a federal police force, I would think he would be looking at the death penalty, same as McVeigh.
And I’ve said it in other threads, but the MAGA supporting Trumplcans in Congress should be shown this video, and all the other video showing cops being hit with poles with the American flag, and the photos of the literal shit on the walls that the brave maga warriors left behind… The should be shown video with the crowd shouting that they want to hang Pence.
Then they should be told that they now have a choice. They can stay in the Republican party and vote to impeach (and convict if in the senate). Or they can side with the cop-killing terrorist seditionists.
Choose. Now.
Stephen
I’m googling and striking out. Why Steven as an animal, Stephen not?
If the news reports are accurate that a couple of these Congressmen gave guided tours of the Capitol building to insurrection leaders the day before the attack, knowingly helping them to case the location and plan their assault, then they already made their choice.
Do you have a link?
I wouldn’t regard this as confirmed yet, but I assume the investigators are taking a very hard look at it.
long story short
An employee of mine made airline reservations for me, but spelled my middle name “Steven” while my ID says “Stephen”. TSA gave me shit, I gave shit back instead of quietly apologizing and fixing things.
I can’t find the clip, but someone once asked if he spelled it with a v or a ph, and he replied, “With a ph, I’m not an animal.”, or something to that effect.
Apparently, police are now saying the fire extinguisher guy is a person of interest in another incident. Its pretty clear that he threw the extinguisher but maybe that wasn’t what caused the fatal injury or somelese used that (or another) extinguisher to kill the officer. Conflicting information doesn’t surprise me at this point.
I like Stephen Colbert’s take on the spelling:
All of these people getting arrested because there’s video of them. Maybe now they understand why their grandparents wore hoods.
In the video it seemed like he hurled that extinguisher and hit an officer near the base of his skull. It might have deflected off of another officer’s helmet. The identity of the officer that was hit doesn’t look quite like the deceased officer’s photograph but perhaps it’s old.
And held secret meetings. And didn’t take pictures of themselves posing with their friends in the police. This was a coup d’dumbasses, but still a coup attempt.
A coup de ass?
The Hold My Beer Putsch.
^^slow. clap.
There’s a scene in The Wire where crime boss Stringer Bell - played by Idris Elba - is holding a meeting with his leadership team, and sees one guy taking notes. He leans down and says “You’re taking notes… on a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY?” The guy gets the hint and puts his notebook away.
Like, guys. The first rule of being a criminal is, ya know, try not to leave lots of evidence.
